Description

Inconsistent TypeError messages are shown for unsupported data-type-based basic operations.

Take addition's TypeError messages for example: 

addition can not be applied to given types.
string addition can only be applied to string series or literals.

Standardizing TypeError messages would improve user experience and reduce maintenance costs.
